DISINFECTING BARCODE DEVICES FOR COVID-19

Industries from across the world utilize Honeywell and Zebra barcode scanners, printers, and mobile computers to run essential operations. As these devices are typically shared between workers, it is important for companies to implement protocols for routine cleaning and disinfecting of devices to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Not just any sanitizing product should be used.

There is not a one-size-fits-all solution to cleaning devices. It varies between each product. Non-healthcare hardware is susceptible to damage and a shortened lifespan with repeated exposure to certain chemicals. However, devices with disinfectant-ready housings, typically used in healthcare, are built to withstand frequent exposure to cleaning solutions.
